Workshop 01
Mike Andrews – Deep Prayer: Ceremony Beyond Words
7laughs@newmex.com 575-770-4321
PO Box 577, Arroyo Seco NM 87514
Thursday 3:00 to 4:45
There are as many ways to pray as there are people. In this workshop/ ceremony, we will learn, use, and discuss in a dialogue circle a technique that Gregg Braden taught that took me very quickly to a very, very deep space, beyond words; to the ineffable.
My path for the last 25 years has been based on service, with a focus on Ceremonies. The word “beyond” has been important for many of these years since it implies there is “something ” out there, but doesn’t necessarily identify what it is and allows people to develop what “beyond” is for them. The questions “What is beyond Wisdom?” and “What is beyond Unconditional Love?” have led me to “What is Ceremony Beyond Words?”.

26A Comanche Drive, Lubbock TX 79404

We are, at our core, spiritual beings living in a material world. Feeding one’s own spirit is essential to progress in this world and preparation for progress of our souls in the next. But how do you pray and meditate; to Whom; what for and who for? We will examine different prayers and quotes from the Baha’i Writings as a basic guide and use these as a basis to share our own practice and exchange ideas on how to form your own daily ceremony to feed your soul and speak to Spirit.

Workshop 05
Mama Uma Wanda Cloud Dancer Wade – Beyond the Emotion Code: Using Muscle Testing and Intuition to Enhance Your Healing Work
mamauma62@gmail.com 254-592-8774
326 Hurt Street, Dublin TX 76446
Friday 11:00 to 12:45
As a body worker and a Shamanic practitioner I have had very good results with my clients however I really wanted it to see them well for longer periods of time. The help I needed came to me through an Emotion Code workshop. As I learned the technique I was so surprised at how well it worked for what I was doing and grew into so much more. Once I learned the technique I began to understand a wide range of possibilities, with the right attitude and guides there is no limit to what can be done. I use the technique to release attachments. From there I go to the vibration of the emotion that attracted the attachment. The first emotions that show up are often present circumstances or childhood trauma. At this point we can go anywhere including inherited, genetic and karmic emotions. This all depends on how much work the person has done and how willing they are to continue to work. In my practice I will do readings before the client shows up. In the reading I will release attachments, find where the emotion or trauma is being held in the body and whatever is ready to be healed in this session. I only discuss what is necessary for their healing never using this technique for anything other than the essentials of healing. The mystery of the reading is important as well. These are done in private. Very rarely do I share this with anyone. Usually the work is done on the body but can be done remotely if necessary. In meditation I will know what bodywork and or energy work the client needs to help them process this through. You can use whatever work you do to cleanse the symptoms from the body. This technique can also be used to help loved ones into the light if their transition is incomplete.
This workshop will be open to people who are currently doing healing or counseling work of some sort. Knowing how to make yourself a hollow bone and understanding that this is all Grace, not us as separate entities, is essential to this work.
We will have a volunteer or volunteers to work with and perhaps even some among us. Once we learn the technique we will practice on each other.
We will use a pendulum as a medium for this work. Bring yours if you have one. I will have some extras.
This will be done in sacred healing ceremony as a group of healers.
Mother of four, Grandmother of three and wife of artist Bob Stuth-Wade are a few of my titles. Dancer, Yogi, Artist, Gardener and cook are a few more. The truth is I am none of these things. As my life unfolded Spirit began to take me down the path of healing. When I first heard the call I tried to avoid it as I have never felt I was prepared to do it. I am still working on me but the message was sent and I heard that this path would heal me too. So here I am available for whatever use I might be for Spirit, just a soul connecting with other souls in the spirit of oneness and love. With a grateful heart I offer what I have learned and know that I will learn from all of you.
